Historically, sweetness in wine could be a byproduct of limited fermentation technology. Winemakers sometimes did not have the resources to fully ferment the available sugars in grapes. This left residual sugar in the wine\u2014hence, the resulting wine was sweet.<\/p><p data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"2767\"><strong data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"2765\">Origins and Traditions<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Ancient Greeks and Romans valued sweet wines, especially those produced from sun-dried or partially dried grapes.<\/li><li>Regions like Sauternes in France have long specialized in the production of sweet wines. Their famous botrytized wines fetch some of the highest prices in the global wine market.<\/li><li>German winemakers pioneered <em data-start=\"3108\" data-end=\"3123\">Riesling wine<\/em> styles that range from bone-dry to intensely sweet, introducing the world to the notion of a \u201csweetness spectrum\u201d in white wine.<\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3295\"><strong data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3293\">What Defines a Sweet White Wine?<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>The presence of residual sugar (RS) is the primary factor.
